Guangdong-Fujian Group Tour | Shantou Mayu Island

Shantou Mayu Island, a beautiful island that can be an alternative to Nan'ao Island, is known as the "Gulangyu Island" of Shantou. Although small in size, it is full of endless charm and a healing atmosphere. Mayu Island Scenic Area is a coastal fishing village with a unique island style that combines "sea views, historical sites, folk customs, food, and art." It has been rated as a national 4A-level tourist attraction. *Location: Mayu Island is located in Longhu District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, and is a small island in the inner bay. It is located at the estuary of Shantou Port, forming a tripod with Dezhou Island and Flag Mountain, serving as a barrier for Shantou Port. Its geographical location is very unique. *Old Ma Palace and New Ma Palace: Mayu Island has many attractions, and the two Mazu temples are a major feature of the island. The Mazu Temple is a symbol of the faith of the people in the Chaoshan area. In the square in front of the Mazu Temple, you can also see a majestic statue of Mazu, the guardian goddess of fishermen! *Historical sites: There are historical sites such as Chao Customs, Donghai Putuo Temple, Dragon King Temple, Niangniang Stone Statue, Ma Yin Stone, and Guanhai Pavilion, showcasing rich historical culture.

The beach on Mayu Island is flat and white, and the sea water is clear and green, making it a great place for bathing and surfing. *Photography spots: The scenery and architectural colors of Mayu Island are very Japanese, and it is known as the "Little Kamakura of Shantou."
